As with any recipe, depending on your appliances and your altitude you might need to adjust the recipe (mostly the timing) a bit. I have a 1100 watt microwave so to say that following the directions burnt my first batch would be an understatement. I failed twice--but my third batch was incredible. On my third batch I added a bit more salt, a couple more pinches. With a 1100 watt microwave I had to decrease the cooking time to 4 min and 45 seconds. I quickly learned to add the dry roasted peanuts with the butter instead of in the beginning as this gives it a less burnt taste--if you use raw nuts add them in at first. After adding the butter, vanilla and nuts I then cooked it for only 1 min and 45 seconds longer. When you first pull it out and start to stir in the baking soda it looks way too light for brittle, however, if you stir it for a tiny bit it will turn golden. Immediately to the pan and sets up in about 5 minutes. Beautiful! Hope this helps for people with a higher powered microwave, all my batches since have been amazing!
